Josh Kramer covers bicycling for the City Paper

Quoting from their newsletter today:


Comic by Josh Kramer and design by Julia Trebrock.

This year might mark a watershed moment for bike safety. 

It's not guaranteed, but completed targets out of the District Department of Transportation give reason to hope: 89 miles of painted lanes and 11.5 miles of protected routes. 

"These numbers tell a story, but I think that this moment in biking would be best suited to my preferred medium—comics," writes City Paper's Josh Kramer for today's cover story, available in print and online. "Biking in D.C. has created a lot of anger and fear, but also joy. I want to draw that. In words and pictures, I'll show you the bike lanes, the bollards, and the pneumatic road tubes, but I'll also bring you to the places where D.C. residents have died. So come along with me and let's see where this cycle track leads us."

This cover story is something special. Give it a look.
